Cooked apple and cinnamon ice cream is a bit like enjoying an iced version of apple pie! The caramelized apples bring a comforting sweetness, while the cinnamon warms everything up with its spicy notes. A perfect ice cream for winter, delicious and easy to make.
What you need:
- 3 apples (Golden or Fuji preferably)
- 200 ml of whole liquid cream
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 60 g of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation :
1. Cook the apples
Start by peeling and cutting the apples into small cubes. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the apples and 30 g of sugar. Cook gently until the apples are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Then sprinkle with cinnamon and mix well. Let cool once the apples are soft and fragrant.
2. Prepare the ice cream base
In a saucepan, gently heat the milk, cream, and remaining sugar (30 g) over medium heat. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. If you want to sweeten it up a bit, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. A pinch of salt will help balance the flavors.
3. Add the caramelized apples
When the apples have cooled, add them to the cream-milk mixture. Mix well so that the flavors diffuse and the caramelized apple permeates the entire base of the ice cream.
4. Let cool
Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once the mixture is cold, put it in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm it up before freezing.
5. Freezing
Pour your mixture into the Ninja Creami pot and put it in the freezer for 24 hours. The wait is worth it, because it allows the ice cream to set well and develop all its flavors.
6. Turn into ice
The next day, place the pot in the Ninja Creami and select the “Ice” mode. If you prefer an even creamier texture, you can add two spoons of milk or cream and restart a Re-spin cycle.
7. Tasting
Your ice cream is ready to be enjoyed! The sweetness of the caramelized apples and the warmth of the cinnamon combine wonderfully. You can serve it with a drizzle of caramel or pieces of biscuits for even more deliciousness.
This baked apple and cinnamon ice cream is a truly comforting dessert, perfect for a winter evening or to add a touch of sweetness to any meal. Enjoy your food ! 🍏
